I do believe that. Nowadays we're not allowed to spank our children, so we take away consequences. I'm not saying that beating your children is a good thing. I'm a firm believer in discipline, because if we know what the consequence will be at the end we won't step out and do some things. My grandson's learning to walk so he's touching things. I slap his hand and tell him no so that he knows the consequence if he touches my things.
In our judicial system, I think we've removed a lot of that stuff. We've allowed a lot of these things to take place because there are no consequences for anybody's actions anymore.
